My Brother, From the East How beautiful is the day when the flowers and trees begin to bloom and all of God s magnificent work is abundant just waiting for us to enjoy it. The key to all of this cycle is nutrients and light. We as Free & Accepted Masons are given the ingredients to share with our Brothers and mankind. Sharing all in the light that we have been taught is how a true Mason builds. Masonic labor is purely a labor of love. He who seeks to draw Masonic wages in gold or silver will be disappointed. The wages of a Mason are earned and paid in their dealings with one another; sympathy begets sympathy, kindness begets kindness, helpfulness begets helpfulness and these are the wages of a Mason. May God Bless America and God Bless you! Fraternally yours, Anthony P. Stelacio, WM From Within the Halls of the Temple This month we here at Cannon Lodge #104 F&AM are very proud to announce that our very own WB David P Buckwalter has been installed as Chaplin of the 24th Masonic District of New Jersey. David will serve as an outstanding Chaplin and a great role model for the Grand Staff for the year. There is only one way to describe David s work ethic and that is perfection. Once again Congratulations to RW David P Buckwalter. Cannon Lodge is very honored to have you as our Brother! In case of sickness or distress, please contact the Worshipful Master, Wardens or Secretary. Please notify the Secretary of any change of address.
